ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the analysis of the gendered processes of SGSY through each of these four components of the feminist analytical framework. The four inter-related component includes constitutive contexts, policy representations, policy practices and consequences. The empirical analysis of SGSY policy practices identified a typology of practices that range along a continuum from formal to informal practices. For instance, the longevity of food policies in the Peruvian policy landscape and of IRDP/SGSY is accounted for by political strategies of elected representatives. The chapter discusses the inter-relationships between the analytical components of the framework, methodological problems encountered in developing this framework and the areas that require further elaboration. Finally, it outlines the implications of the analysis for transformative policies and for mainstreaming gender concerns in anti-poverty policy. Anti-poverty policies in Peru, Brazil and Malawi were observed to be framed through a similar de-coupling from mainstream economic policies.
